A clay that loses nearly all of its shear strength after being disturbed is called a(n) sensitive clay.

Clay is a material similar to natural earth but fine grain. The meaning of the word clay is "sticky". The slip is a clay in liquid suspension used as a binding agent, as enamel for stoneware and electrical insulators or slip sheets are used in decoration.Clays may be described as sensitive when the undisturbed strength is greater than the disturbed (remoulded) strength, where the remoulded material can behave as a fluid.

Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the undisturbed shear strength and the disturbed shear strength.Clay soil has a thick and swooping composition. Blackland prairies have a unique characteristic of black and heavy clay soils because of the marine chalks, limestones, and shale that are found in its composition. When soils reach major rivers and tributaries its compositions changes into a more sandy soil

Explain the environmental challenges facing a rapidly developing Asia. Identify three challenges faced on this continent.
Lena [83]

Answer:

1. Endangered Species conservation

2. Air Pollution

3. Destruction of Coral Reefs

Explanation:

"Asia sits almost entirely in the tropics, and as such, is covered in rich, dense, biologically diverse jungle." Poachers, large companies exploiting land, small farms,(Etc), have always been a large factor of how hard it is to conserve the endangered species.

Small farms and large companies burn fires trying to clear land of trees(among other things.) So that then they can exploit the land the following year.

Over the past several decades, Asia's famous coral reefs have always been in dismay. This is the result of several factors like; 1. The ocean absorbs most of the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere each year. While this helps reduce the effects of global warming (temporarily), it also means that more of that carbon is going to be converted into carbonic acid, increasing the ocean’s acidity level.

How does the vegetation surface affect the amount of runoff, and why?
Tcecarenko [31]
Vegetation catches precipitation on its leaves, slowing it down or holding it for a while. This gives the ground more time to absorb the water, so there's less runoff.

What usually impacts agriculture production and consumption
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Desertification, nutrients in the soil, access to water, tools made for agriculture, location, climate, water pollution, the production of the food product, etc.

Explanation:

There are many factors that contribute in the decision making of food choices and the growth and production of food. In able to have a productive farm, some farmers choose to use many workers, some choose to use large tools, like tractors and irrigation systems. If there is not enough water getting to the farm, in some places like California, they will make a system or transport the water to the farm. Climate and weather also play a big role. If the climate does not supply the right resources to the plants, they will not be able to grow properly. Some climates are able to grow certain plants better than in other regions. The process of the food production affects how some make their food choices. For example, some people dislike how animals are treated and cared for before they are used for meat. Then, these people make the decision to not eat meat at all or from some companies that mistreat their animals. When their is water pollution near-by farms, farmers will struggle to grow their crops. When chemicals, from these polluted water sources, travel through the soil to the farms, the crops die or are harmed. In places like Africa, with dry climates, they use one plot of land for growing crops, then move to another plot the next year, because the nutrients from that plot were used all up for growing those plants. Sometimes, they even burn the weeds and shrubs after the harvest because it provides the soil with nutrients. This method is called slash and burn.
